On my journey to the Lake District, I was having problems with the clutch. Concerned about driving back home, Mike agreed to look at it for me. Mike discovered that a major job was required to replace the clutch kit and slave cylinder, also a new starter motor lead was needed which Mike had made up as he couldnt get the part in time. Mike pulled out all the stops to help me out in the short space of time that I was staying in the Lake District, very friendly, professional and would definitely recommend. Thank you Mike.

I have just had work done on my car here. They were happy to check my car over the next day and called me to explain what needed to be done and provided me with an estimate everything, to which i understood to be a full estimate including VAT, as not stated otherwise. Upon collection of the car i was shocked to find i was being charged an extra 80 on top of estimate because they had not included VAT with prior estimation. I recieved a very unenthusiastic apology and was told nothing could be done, it was just a breakdown in communication. Very unsympathetic to the situation and no attempt made
